EDGAR MARTINEZ: PRAISE FROM HIS PEERS

EDGAR MARTINEZ: PRAISE FROM HIS PEERS EDGAR deserves to be in [the Hall of Fame] he was one of the most feared hitters in the game for 10-plus years. Ken Griffey Jr., HOF 16 EDGAR MARTINEZ is, hands down, the best hitter that I ve ever seen he is the best pure hitter that I got to see on a nightly basis. And I hope that his time comes soon, that he gets a phone call stating that he s a Hall of Fame player, because he is. Randy Johnson, HOF 15 The toughest and thank God he retired EDGAR MARTINEZ I think every pitcher will say that, because this man was tough. Mariano Rivera He [EDGAR] was the best hitter I ve ever seen. He was tough to get out. He was prepared He gave Mariano [Rivera] a lot of trouble. He gave a lot of us a lot of trouble. He was unbelievable. Jorge Posada The toughest guy I faced I think with all due respect to all the players in the league was EDGAR MARTI- NEZ. He had to make me throw at least 13 fastballs above 95 Edgar was a guy that had the ability to foul off pitches, and it pissed me off because I couldn t get the guy out. 2 - EDGAR MARTINEZ: HALL OF FAME CANDIDATE Pedro Martinez, HOF 15 I remember when I was coming up, I used to watch a guy like EDGAR hit and I was like, This is ridiculous He s a.312 career hitter. When you re a career.312 hitter at this level, that means you pretty much got everything down. David Ortiz I think the writers have spoken in my case, and they will again in the future. They re not going to hold [being a DH] against you. It s part of the game and should be included as such. He [EDGAR] was one of the most feared right-handed hitters for a long time in this league. The amount of respect he has from peers speaks to the value of the offensive player he was. Paul Molitor, HOF 04 A professional, quiet, humble giant and one of the best right-handed hitters ever seen. Dusty Baker

EDGAR MARTINEZ: HALL OF FAME CANDIDATE EDGAR MARTINEZ the greatest right-handed hitter of his era is once again on the 2018-2019 National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. After earning 70.4% of the vote last year, Edgar is in his 10th and final year on the ballot this year. In the span of the last 83 seasons (1936-2018), Edgar is the only right-handed batter with a career slash line of at least.310/.410/.510 while recording more walks than strikeouts. Edgar is 1 of only 5 right-handed batters to accomplish this feat in the modern era, joining Hall of Famers Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, Harry Heilmann and Rogers Hornsby. In the expansion era (1961-c), Edgar is 1 of 4 right-handed batters with at least 2,000 hits, 500 doubles, 300 home runs, 1,200 RBI and 1,200 walks. He is joined by Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez. Hall of Fame voters and his peers agree that Edgar is deserving of a place in the Hall of Fame. He was one of the best all-around hitters of his generation as well as one of the best right-handed batters in the modern era. He combined power with the ability to reach base safely, both at rates that rank high on the all-time lists of Hall of Fame hitters. Hall of Fame voter Jayson Stark: It s clear to me that Edgar is a Hall of Famer. Hall of Fame voter Tim Kurkjian: He was one of the great hitters of his generation, and all you have to do is ask the guys who played and they ll all tell you the exact same thing.

EDGAR MARTINEZ: CAREER OVERVIEW SILVER SLUGGER AWARDS EDGAR won 4 Silver Slugger Awards as a DH, 2nd-most in Major League history (David Ortiz, 7): Year League Position 1992 AL 3rd Base 1995 AL DH 1997 AL DH 2001 AL DH 2003 AL DH EDGAR MARTINEZ OUTSTANDING DESIGNATED HITTER OF THE YEAR AWARDS EDGAR was a 5-time recipient of the Outstanding DH of the Year Award, claiming the honors in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001 his 5 awards are 2ndmost all-time (David Ortiz, 8). EDGAR MARTINEZ became the Mariners regular third baseman in 1990 at the age of 27. In his first 2 seasons, he proved to be a good defensive third baseman and was the 1992 AL batting champion, the first of his 2 batting titles. Injuries limited him in 1993 and 1994, and manager Lou Piniella moved him to designated hitter in 1995, the position he primarily played the rest of his career. 7-TIME ALL-STAR EDGAR made 7 All-Star Game appearances, including 4 starts (1995, 1997, 2001 and 2003): Year League Position 1992 AL 3rd Base 1995 AL DH 1996 AL DH 1997 AL DH 2000 AL DH 2001 AL DH 2003 AL DH Mark Langston, a teammate of Edgar s from 1987-89, recounts Edgar s defensive abilities at the hot corner. He was a really good third baseman before he got hurt, Langston said. He was a guy that could really play third base for you. You could see future at third base for him and then he had the shoulder problem To me, he s probably, hand-down, the best DH that s probably ever assumed that position. Throughout his career, Edgar proved to be one of the top all-around hitters of his era as well as in baseball history. He combined power with the ability to reach base safely, both at rates that rank high on the all-time lists of Hall of Fame hitters.

With the Mariners trailing 5-4 in the bottom of the 11th and runners on 1st and 3rd, Edgar laced a double off Yankees ace Jack McDowell into the left-field corner to score Joey Cora and Ken Griffey Jr., sending the Mariners to their first ALCS appearance.

EDGAR MARTINEZ: DEFINING THE DH POSITION EDGAR MARTINEZ was a 5-time recipient of the Outstanding Designated Hitter Award, claiming the honors in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001. During Edgar s retirement ceremony at Safeco Field on October 2, 2004, Commissioner Bud Selig announced that Major League Baseball had renamed the award the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award. In The Stark Truth, Hall of Fame voter Jayson Stark writes that Edgar is the most underrated designated hitter ever, extolling his all-around offensive brilliance. This man was a two-time batting champ, Stark wrote in 2007. In fact, he was the first right-handed-hitting, twotime American League batting champ since Joe DiMaggio. Edgar was also a former RBI champ (with 145 in 2000). He made seven All-Star teams. He s one of only four men in the last 70 years who can say he had back-to-back 50 double season. And he s one of just a half-dozen players since the 1940s who batted.320 or better at least six years in a row. (The others are Stan Musial, Wade Boggs, Rod Carew, Tony Gwynn and Todd Helton all of whom it s possible you ve heard of.) LEADING THE WAY When Edgar won the American League batting title in 1995 with a.356 average, he became the first full-time DH to claim a batting crown. In 1,403 career appearances at DH, Edgar hit.314 with 883 runs, 370 doubles, 6 triples, 243 home runs, 1,003 RBI, 986 walks, a.428 on-base percentage and a.532 slugging percentage. BEST AT HIS POSITION Among players with at least 3,000 career plate appearances as a DH, Edgar owns the highest career batting average, on-base percentage and OPS. He also ranks 2nd in doubles and RBI at DH, while ranking 3rd in home runs. He is 1 of 2 players in Major League history to collect 1,000 career RBI from the designated hitter position, joining David Ortiz (1,569). Edgar a 5-time recipient of the Outstanding DH Award joins Ortiz (8) as the only players to earn those honors at least 4 times since the DH was adopted by the American League in 1973. He won 4 Silver Slugger Awards as a DH (1995, 1997, 2001 and 2003), tied with Hall of Famer Paul Molitor for 2nd-most in Major League history behind Ortiz (7). Edgar Martinez is the best designated hitter in the game s history.

EDGAR MARTINEZ: IN THE COMMUNITY EDGAR MARTINEZ s skills on the playing field were only outshone by his character off the field. He has given generously of his time, his money and his energy to support causes important to him and his family, including Seattle Children s Hospital, where the Mariners established the Edgar Martinez Endowment for Muscular Dystrophy Research upon his retirement in 2004. ROBERTO CLEMENTE AWARD Following the 2004 season, Edgar received the Roberto Clemente Award, which recognizes the player who best represents the game of baseball through sportsmanship, community involvement and positive contributions, on and off the field. Edgar, who grew up in Puerto Rico, became the first Puerto Rican to receive the Clemente Award. WORLD SPORTS HUMANITARIAN HALL OF FAME In 2007, Edgar was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame, along with NBA star Dikembe Mutombo and NASCAR driver Kyle Petty. The Hall of Fame, which is located in Boise, ID, recognizes individuals and organizations from the world of amateur and pro sports who, through their humanitarian efforts, distinguish themselves as role models in the community. The Northwest is very important to me. My wife is from here and it has been a great place for our family to live. It feels good to be able to give back to the community and help make a difference.
